Jafnea pallida (Pezizales), a new name for a cup fungus rediscovered in Tasmania

A modern description is provided for <em>Geopyxis pallidus</em>, a species described by L. Rodway in 1920, from the here selected lectotype and additional recent collections from Tasmania. Based on its morphology, we recombine <em>G. pallidus</em> into the genus <em>Jafnea</em>. Recent records of <em>Jafnea pallida</em> comb. nov. from Tasmania have been misnamed as the morphologically similar <em>Tarzetta jafneospora</em>. The two species can be distinguished by their different spore ornamentation.
